There seems to be a general scarcity of
coal. Prices have been advanced in the
East, and at St. Louis and Chicago famine
is threatened Labor troubles are the cause
of the short supply.

Prince Krapotkine, the eccentric Russian
who spends his time between writing scien-
tific works and serving the State as con-
vict is naturally much interested in the fate
of his fellow Anarchists, who stand in the
shadow of the gallows In Chicago. In re-
cent article he tells the friends of the con
demned men that in case they are executed,
the wreaking of vengeance upon the authori-
ties would be justifable. He doubtless looks
upon these fellows as martyrs, and in doing
so differs very greatly from the great body
of the people, who think the real martyrs
were the policemen who died while in the
performance of their duty.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun mentions a current rumor
that Secretary Whitney's sudden reinqush-
ment Of his duties as head of the Navy De-
partment may be final. No reason is given
for such action. 1t is to be hoped that the
ruInor is unfounded, as perhaps no member
of MIR. Clevelands Cabinet has had more
important duties to perform, or has met
public expectation more fully

Secretary Whitney's Illness.

Accounts of the illness of Mr. Whitney,
Secretary of the Navy, vary greatly. In
some of the dispatches it is stated that he is
a very sick man and may not be able to at
tend to his duties for several weeks, and
perhaps months. In other dispatches he is
reported to be improving so rapidly that he
will be in condition to look after matters
in the Navy Department very soon.
It seems rather strange that no mention
was made of his illness until the announce
ment was published that he was unable to
go to his Office, and that his physician had
ordered him to give no attention whatever
to business.
Very conflicting stories as to the cause of
his sudden and rather alarming illness are
told. One is that he has overworked him
self, and that his devotion to his official
duties has almost destroyed his health
Another story, however, is that his work,
as the head of the Navy Department, is not
by any means as exactjng as some of his
friends would like to make it appear, and
that If he had nothing else to bother him he
would seldom suffer from sickness Of any
kind
The truth probably is that while Mr..
Whitney does not neglect his duties he eats
too many big dinners and docs not take
enough exercise. When he entered the
Cabinet it seemed to be understood that he
should be the conspicuous feature of the
social side of the administration He has
an accomplished wife and plenty of money
and entertains admirably Ever since he
has been in Washington he has been noted
for his grand dinners and his great recep-
tons. 1t is probable. therefore, that he has
taken into his stomach a great deal more
than was good for him, and is now paying
the penalty of his folly.
No doubt he will be able to go to Wash
ington and look after his office in few
days. OF course he will have to continue
to play leading part in the social world at
the capital, but if he could hire somebody
to eat his share of the big dinners which he
will give, and to which he will be invited,
his health probably would steadily improve

Eoiled With a Silver Brick.

NJ ". Brown, of New Mexico, said to a
reporter: Ginning now is not what it used
to be. In early days there were incidents
without number. When / first went to Sill
yer City, N. NJ, to open tho mine which
have recently located here, the railroads
had not entered that territory, and the
stage robber hourished in all his glory. It
was not infrequent for them to make good
hauls Of bricks or dust, both in that and
other sections of the mining country. had
some trouble in that line and finally con-
cluded that I had the remedy in my own
hands, and put my bullion into 500 pound
brick and sent it to the Philadelphia mint.
The stage was attacked, and tho robbers got
all they could, but when they came to my
brick they stopped short and remarked
"Well, it looks mighty pretty, but it's too
much for us, land went. / was notified
from the mint that they would not again re-
ceive such a largo brick. had not antici-
pated this, and was rather put back, but
wrote to the people at the mint, explaining
the situation very clearly, and they replied
that under those circumstances they would
receive 500-pound bricks, but no larger.

Elephants at Sea.

Tho hosting into the air and lowering
elephants into the hold Of ship is not only
an unusual sight to most men but also a
strange experience to most elephants. They
wcro dashed with strong ropes, slung as far
as practicable in sings, hoisted up with
cranes and three-fold tackle and lowered into
the steamers hold ike bales Of cotton. When
in the hold they were placed in pens built Of
strong teak timber balks, bolted TO tho ships
sido TO prevent them from breaking loose.
The fear the animals suffered was the only
pSen they underwent, and by watching tho
eyes Of tho poor beasts their terror was very
manifest. Tears trickled down their faces
and they roared with dread, moro especially
when being lowered into the hold, the bottom
Of which was sanded for them to stand upon.
We arc told that one timid female elephant
actually tainted and was brought to with &
fan and many gallons of water. At sea it
appears that the animals got into curious
habit OF occasionally-evidently at a precon-
certe1 sisnal-setting to work rocking the
ship from side to side by giving themselves
simultaneously a swinging motion as they
stood athwart the ship, tho vessel rolling
heavily as if in a saaway.-Youth' Com

LIST OF COLLEGE WAR CRIES.
Tho Peculiar Whoops and Shouts Adopted
by Different Students.

ny O1ACI"AS 6tu0c0LSs
One Of the college papers has compiled a
list and history Of college cheers. Accord
| ing to it the original shouts of tho colleges
were a repetition OF the name Of tho COLLEGE
This gave an advantage to the colleges
which had sonorous names, and az the con-
slant aim Of cheering is to make moro noise
than the other cheerers, new yells were
evolved by process Of evolution. These
came into existence a quarter Of a century
ago, when Yale and Harvard had their boat
races on Lake Quinsigamond, when the
'Rah! 'Rah! 'Rah! thrice repeated was
first heard. Harvard sounded the 'Rahs
full, and edded Harvard" pronounced so
that tie ar and a clipped d were ell that
were heard. 'Yaie" was added to the New
Haven colleges 'Rahs with long howl on
the a.
Princeton's cheer was developed soon
after, as Princeton came into athletic rela-
tons with the other colleges. They took the
three 'Rahs for basis, and added the sky
rocket siz-boom-ab, which they hold on to as
long as the nine 'Rahs Of their opponents
hold out, and then yell Princeton as a
calliope climax Dartmouth has one of the
most novel cheers of all Some Indian must
have invented it, and stout college lungs
give it the right aflatus. 1t is Wah-h hoo
wahl Wah-hoo-wah Diddy, diddy, Dart
MOUTH Wah-hoo-wah! 1t is very pictur-
esque, and only sophomore can Wah-hoo
to the best advantage. The hoo is Like q
human owls boot.
Everybody has heard Columbia's Hoorayl
Hoorayl Hooray! Columbia! The
name spells out rythmically. Johns Hop
kins university ct Baltimore has taken the
ground plan of the cheer and built on it, a l.
ding Johns H-o-p-k-i Ms, instead OF Co
lu-m b-i-a, Stevens institute at Hoboken
and Union college at Schenectady have SINH
lar cheers.
Rutgers has cheer almost as original as
Da1tmouth's. 1t is 'Rahl 'Rah! 'Rah!
Bow-wow-wow! Rutgers! Williams has
an enhancing and resonant 'Rah! 'Rah!
'Rah! William! yams! yams! yansl Penn

cheer without any special charm. It is the

ter. They say 'Rah three times and edd
C!ClN!YI
Cornell has cheer that, once heard, can
not be forgotten. 1t is like the rhyme Of

emphasis only in times of excitement. Here
it is: Cornell Cornell! Cor-cor-cor-nelll
